The Sts. Peter & Paul Greek Festival celebrates Greek customs, food, and culture. Come and experience authentic Greek cuisine, live music, and traditional dance performances by the Parathosi Dance Troupe.

Each year, we feature vendors of beautiful Greek art, jewelry, books, religious icons, and more. Browse our Greek Agora Marketplace. Sample a variety of Greek pastries as well as imported wine and beer.

Our kids’ corner features a moon bounce as well as various games and activities.

We offer free admission, free parking, and we’re open rain or shine – our large overhead tents will keep you dry even if it rains.

This year the West Frederick Farmer’s Market will sound the first opening bell of the season on May 5, 2012 at 10:00 am – 1:00 pm.

The market will be hosting 27 vendors this season packed full with all of the town’s favorite fruits, vegetables, baked goods, fresh meats, pottery, jewelry, plants, and other various crafters. Vendors are getting ready for the last push this week as they prepare for the first Saturday market.

Every year the farmers market continues to grow as the people of Frederick begin to realize the value of buying fresh from the local farmer’s and in turn supporting the local economy. Last year, The West Frederick Farmer’s Market participated in the American Farmland Trust’s America’s Favorite Farmers Markets contest placing 3^rd in the state and 15^th in the nation, a testament to the ever growing devotion of its consumers.

This year expect to see many of the same of vendors, live music, special events, a couple of contests, lots of fresh food, fun, and a nice long season to reap all of the benefits that the market has to offer.

The West Frederick Farmer’s Market is located on Baughman’s Lane off Route 40 and is open every Saturday until mid-November.

My most recent photography session with Kelsey, Felice Fotographic, was one of my favorite shoots! Not only did she capture some AMAZING shots, she made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire shoot. Her creativity throughout the shoot produced photos and images that are currently used on my website, brochures, marketing materials, and even requested to be used on other professional fitness & dance sites! – Heidi Inthavong of Get Heidi Fit

This is the second time that we have used Felice Fotographic and have been very pleased with the results. Having a professional photographer at our events has allowed us to both capture the special moments while enjoying our event without the worry about “getting the shot”. We intend to use Felice Fotographic in the future. – The Palmer Family
